“WINNING IS NOT
ALWAYS THE BAROMETER
OF GETTING BETTER.”
TIGER WOODS
FEEL A SLIGHT BACKWARD BEND
GET TO A FULL POSE AT THE FINISH
I like to see a tiny bow, or backward curve, in a player’s
body at the finish. Your hips should be closer to the target
than your feet or your chest. It’s a sign that you’ve kept
your upper body behind the ball and swung the club
down the target line. One final thought: Finish with your
back foot vertical, on its toes. That indicates good balance
and a full, uninhibited swing.
Another good power image is to swing with enough
speed that the shaft ends up tapping the back of your
neck. It takes a little recklessness, but that kind of
freedom is a great speed producer. Also, check your grip
at the finish. Still holding the club securely? If so, you
have the control to give it plenty of speed.
